Refrigerator & Freezer Repair

This unit has work perfectly until recently. Unit will cool down and freeze up. When it attempts to go into defrost mode, it trips the GFI (Working Fine).

Just recently replaced the defrost timer and it did not correct the problem. Today I replaced the defrost thermostat and still have the problem. Checked the continuity on the heating element and appears to be OK.

Any advice would be appreciated
